Load bans

Page Content

Thin pavement, oiled roads and some gravelled roads must be protected by reducing allowable axle weights. Restricted roadways are posted with signs showing the required axle weight reduction (expressed as a percentage of the licensed axle weight).

Fifty per cent load bans are in place on some roads year round. Seventy-five per cent load bans are in effect during the spring thaw period for some roads but also year round on others. There are also some prohibitions. Bans are reviewed annually.

Map, permits and information

Consult the Load Bans Map for current load bans and prohibitions, in effect as of March 15.

For permits to exceed vehicle load restrictions on roads and overweight trucks on bridges, see the Permits and Fees.

Load ban tables

Limits and prohibitions are listed by district. Consult the District Map for details.
